Data and AI - Senior Consultants/Managers

Becoming part of the UK team in our Data & AI Service Line will present new opportunities for you to make a positive impact as we embark on securing major projects with our top international clients.

This will mean working with our FTSE100 clients and beyond on a wide range of advisory projects, bringing deep business and technology expertise to help address Data and AI opportunities and challenges across their organisations. 

Wavestone has a significant and growing capability in Data & AI that is in high demand from our clients. Our clients trust us to tailor advisory engagements to aid with some of their most complex data-related challenges, and as a result, we are growing our Data & AI service line to be able to respond to the increasing breadth and complexity of data-driven transformation initiatives

Whilst we work across different sectors, we are particularly interested in speaking to people with a background in one or more of the following sectors: Banking, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, Life Sciences, Public Sector, Energy & Utilities. 

We are looking for talented and experienced Data & AI management consultants across various levels of seniority that are confident and capable of being a key trusted advisor to clients from the outset.

Join our team to help grow this offering and be part of impactful engagements encompassing (but not limited to): 

• D&AI Strategy & Operating Model Design: Analysing client needs and developing comprehensive data strategies aligned with business objectives, including governance and sourcing strategies as well as organisational structures that enable data democratisation. 

• D&AI Use Case Development & Value Realisation: End-to-end advisory from identifying high-potential AI/ML opportunities to developing business cases, prioritising implementation roadmaps, and establishing ROI measurement frameworks to track and demonstrate value. 

• D&AI Architecture & Platform Advisory: Combining architectural assessments with platform selection guidance, providing vendor-independent recommendations for optimal data ecosystem design. 

• Data Migration, Integration & Pipeline Support: Providing strategic guidance on data migration and integration approaches, logical pipeline design, and data flow orchestration, based on best-practice architectural patterns that enable seamless data movement across the organisation. 

• Insight Delivery & Visualisation Design: Comprehensive advisory on transforming data into actionable insights through effective dashboard design, visualisation best practices, and self-service analytics capabilities that drive data-informed decision making. 

• D&AI Products & Service Design: Advisory on designing, developing, and commercialising data products and AI-enabled services, including monetisation strategies, product roadmaps, and go-to-market approaches that create new revenue streams. 

As a senior member of the Data & AI practice, your key responsibilities will cover client delivery, business development, people development, and key contribution to our thought leadership. Depending on your level of experience you will be expected to: 

• Lead & Deliver Engagements: Manage data strategy and architecture engagements with our clients, responsible for the day-to-day running of the engagements, likely acting as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. 

• Business Development: Be a subject matter expert leading and/or supporting sales activity across the full lifecycle from pre-sales support, identification of Data and AI opportunities through to scoping the delivery phase of engagements. 

• Thought leadership & Proposition Ownership: Be a key voice in our Data and AI community and externally, developing data-related propositions and approaches to common client challenges, sharing knowledge, and creating thought leadership and marketing materials that support sales efforts. 

• People Development: Act as an example and go-to for more junior members of the team, by sharing knowledge, mentoring, and leading by example. Possibly provide line management and career development directly as part of our career development manager framework. 

• Maintain Expertise: Stay current with the market, most especially in different data technologies, platforms, and solutions that are relevant to client challenges or needs.
